"But on the whole, nothing requires unbearable energy for me, it's just a normal thing."

Energy

Quote_1.png
Isabelle Huppert
"Before I do a play I say that I hope it's going to be for as short a time as possible but, once you do it, it is a paradoxical pleasure. One evening out of two there are five minutes of a miracle and for those five minutes you want to do it again and again. It's like a drug."

Time

Quote_1.png
Isabelle Huppert
"I don't know if you ever say to yourself that you want to be an actress. It eventually becomes a social function - you are an actress and you make a living out of it, but at the beginning it's more a matter of how to survive, or how to exist in a certain way."

Beginning

Quote_1.png
Isabelle Huppert
"I like to take these unusual characters and then make them as normal as possible, because we all know that the tragedy and the abnormal always hides itself behind the normal."

Tragedy

Quote_1.png
Isabelle Huppert
"The Greeks already understood that there was more interest in portraying an unusual character than a usual character - that is the purpose of films and theatre."

Character

"I did a film very quickly, and then a lot of work for television, and then I did stage work."

"Acting is a way of living out one's insanity."

"But theatre is always a difficult experience."

Experience

Quote_1.png
Isabelle Huppert
"Yes, he wanted me to do Funny Games before, which I didn't want to do because the film was very theoretical - the way people experience violence on screen. There was very little space for fiction, it was more like a sacrifice for the actors than anything else."

Experience

Quote_1.png
Isabelle Huppert
"It really helps you to go through difficult situations by just thinking about it as being a big amount of work which you have to solve how to do. For example, I don't feel very inspired when I act, I just act. That's it."
